[Chilli] Chilli random crashes since 1.2.7

[David Bird]

The up coming release has been tested extensively with valgrind. Several bugs that could cause the problem have been fixed. The issue you are seeing is likely the bug also recently pointed out in the mailing list concerning mtu and a icmp frag packet .... which we have fixed. Some more work needs doing, but the 1.2.9 release is soon!
